Anyone just starting BIR cooking should check out Adey's courses
Although I have been cooking BIR at home for many years Adey still managed to show me cooking Techniques and how he makes his base
There was a lot to learn
It was over 2 four hour lessons that we covered:-
Base gravy
Spice mix
ginger garlic puree
garlic puree
Tomato paste
Service Onions
Onion Bhajee
Spiced oil
Curries:-
patia
vindaloo
madras
rhogan
bhajee
He cooked a curry and then I had a go
Adey is making a living at this so told me not to reveal recipes
Sorry
But if you check out Adey and Julians recipes on youtube, it's pretty much all there
His gravy is particularly good
Doing the course has refined my technique
Adey stands over you as you cook
He tells you what heat is required, and when
He prompts you for the ingredients
He is also a very decent bloke, as are the other staff I met
If I'd had this course at the start of my curry cooking, it would have taken years off my search
The curries are not identical to ones I buy locally, but are definite BIR quality
-
Thanks for sharing that, Haldi. I have many questions but will start with were the two, four-hour courses on a one-to-one basis?
-
Adey is making a living at this so told me not to reveal recipes
Hasn't he already done that with Mick going in, etc? But thanks for the insight. How local is he to you, if you don't mind me asking? -purely cos what you said about his not being what you buy locally? Big regional difference you reckon?
Cheers for the detail.
-
Stand in line DO - I asked first :P
-
Adey is making a living at this so told me not to reveal recipes
The "SECRET" lol, or that old chestnut ;)
But if you check out Adey and Julians recipes on youtube, it's pretty much all there
Which video best shows this Haldi
Are you allowed to elaborate on the refinement of technique used
Are you allowed to elaborate on required heat and when to use it
The curries are not identical to ones I buy locally, but are definite BIR quality
Are you saying they are a good curry but no better than the results we achieve anyway or are far better than the results we achieve?
Cheers :)
-
I'd have liked to develop my argument, but since there are some impatient members, I will ask how much does it cost, Haldi, to get taught how not to make a curry like you get from your local TA?
-
Thanks for sharing that, Haldi. I have many questions but will start with were the two, four-hour courses on a one-to-one basis?
yes, it was one to one
I don't know why, but he asked me not to say the cost
But it wasn't cheap
Ask Adey direct, I'm sure he will quote you a price
This is pretty much the patia I was shown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujw82lBg3Cg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujw82lBg3Cg)
Adey is based in Boston and I'm in Nottingham (60 miles)
I can buy curries identical to Adey's, in Nottingham
The lessons have improved my technique
I have a better understanding of why I cook things, at what temperatures
For instance the garlic ginger or garlic needs to be cooked on a low heat
If you overcook at this stage the flavour is ruined
and then there is this roasting technique that Julian has been emphasising
that needs the heat wacked up full
I have also understood the importance of fenugreek leaves
They have a unique flavour, even cooked on their own
I have understood the difference between a curry cooked with garlic or a curry cooked with garlic/ginger paste
they give very different results
The scraping of the pan is a knack too, I need to practice that
I've never cooked so many curries in one go either
that, in itself, is a learning experience
He is a really nice bloke and extremely approachable
Perhaps I might take some of my "local" curry to him and ask what's different?
He will probably know
So far three people have eaten these "lesson" curries
and apart from the "it's a bit oily" comment, they have had high praise
One of my son's friends, was round a moment ago, and he smelt the reheated curry in the microwave
He was drooling and is calling back later to have some
He thought it smelt fantastic
The onion Bhajees were excellent
Quite a bit of the Adey stuff is in Julian's 2nd ebook
-

He's all yours Garp , my question was answered. As for the how much question .Adey would not answer me, but from a previous cook session I calculated it to be

Thanks for responding Haldi. I'm glad you got something out of it. But if I were to book a similar culinary experience, I would like to know the cost. Andy puts it at about

H Haldi
I have a question for you
recently you thought the Glasgow base was amazing, and you are from down south I believe?
do you still use the Glasgow base or a different base now?
if so why?
Garry
-
Not sure if Adey is declaring this income.
::) Nope
-
Perhaps we should ask Adey if he is declaring his income from Curry Lessons to HMRC.
-
And you think you will get an answer!!? He has avoided many questions with no replies, If he doesnt like the question it was never asked ;)
-
Very true mate. Got to give him the opportunity to reply though :)
-
Andy puts it at about
-
The curries are not identical to ones I buy locally, but are definite BIR quality
Lost my interest right here. :o
But thank you Haldi for the kind informative info ;)
-

Garry
I think the Glasgow Base is very good
I will definitely use it again, although I might change my curry cooking methods
The Glasgow base runs very close to what I am after
I'm from the Midlands
Nottingham
To be honest I feel confused
I feel a bit like hanging up my curry pans for good
Don't misunderstand
Adey's course teaches a BIR quality that is bought every day
My whole family loved what I cooked
So what is different about the takeaways I go to?
Haven't a clue
-
Haldi, are you close or have you reached your goal for cooking Indian ? Or do you still feel you are missing something from your curries?
-
Hi haldi, if you had someone else to cook your curries using your own ingredients you'd probably enjoy them better.
I just make a base up as I go along now, as long as its cooked properly it will make decent tasting curries.
Onions not boiled properly,too long on the final cook darkens & adds an unwanted flavour to the base, then the curries for me. You know this anyway
The only reason my curries don't taste like my local's is simply the recipe. I had a curry in Amsterdam recently which tasted like what I would expect find anywhere here really. Curries we ordered at Masala in brick lane were a bit powdery & supermarket like & Tayyabs Punjabi is nothing like any of the Punjabi food common in Glasgow.
A crap flavour coming through from the base gravy in the curry gets confused with missing flavours or %'s imo

ELW

Stick with it Haldi , not worth hanging up ya pans especially if you just paid out for a cooking class!
I am more than happy with my currys I produce and a trip to a curry house always confirms this for me . ;)
Practice and and patients unfortunately are a major ingredients.

Oh dear that doesnt sound too goo LC, do your guests normally end up in hospital ;)

Haldi
Whats occurring ? The post starts with your enthusiasm with the lesson ,then a depression sets in and kitchen rage thoughts :(
You payed for that with money? ???
-
Lol !! :-\ thanks for pointing that one out MA ;) cheers spellchecker ???
-

Exactly. All that's needed are good recipes, like Blade's for tikka and H4C's for naan bread.
I've never seen the point of expensive training courses, in any subject.
It's sad if the result of Haldi spending a small fortune on a training course, has been to drive him to the verge of giving up. I'm not sure what to make of it.
-
Yeah, I mean Adey's stuff is good (via CBM admittedly for me- never actualy been there), but surely not enough to make everyone give up for ever! You didn't find the Holy Grail, Haldi!!! ;)
-
Having said that, he's still one of the best in the business :-X 8)

I expected it all to be perfect
I'm hoping that it's something I can still get right
Adey and I are chatting and fingers crossed it work out
I was probably really naive
I expected a perfect match to curries, which obviously he's never tried
If I do get it, you will all know
-
You might get a discount... ;) :-X
-
Yep Haldi if you are feeling let down , then I also would be asking for a refunded discount!!
-
I can offer BIR courses with similarly disappointing results at half the price - and taxes declared :)
-
Exactly. All that's needed are good recipes, like Blade's for tikka and H4C's for naan bread.
Tandoori style cooking and top notch curry cooking are somewhat different George. Well I think they are anyway.

Yes, they are different of course, but the principle is the same in my opinion, in that most people could make curries which taste just like at their favourite BIR, if given the recipes.

That business been...?

Yep so can I , I have a new course starting in September

Hi
Haldi said he was disappointed it did not taste like his local.

why not pm mbc haldi see if he is having the same problem.

Who is mbc?

MonsuierBadgerCheese who has also done a course with Adey but wrote more about it at the other place.
-
What happened to MBC? he joined , introduced himself and vanished ::)
-
I'm hoping that it's something I can still get right
Adey and I are chatting and fingers crossed it work out
Hi Haldi,
You havent posted lately, did you manage to get anything sorted out with adey pain? I hope you havent decided to hang up your curry pans :(
-
MadAndy I see that you are still whining because some people make a living from their hard earned knowledge.
Surely with all your "ureka, finally cracked it, etc." claims, you know all there is to know already, and have no use for "free advice".
-
Chuckit, I see you have left the protective wing you reside under! What a shame this thread has been tainted by your presence!!
Trolls are only around for one thing and that's attention! Your master is going to punish you for straying from your nest my friend.
All of the members here are well aware of a staged advertising campaign Chuckit.
MadrasAndy is well within his right to comment as he sees fit. ( unlike the domain you hide in )
Goodbye. :o
-
;D chukup
-
Lost me there chukup ?
-
Lost me there chukup ?
And me, so I deleted two of his three posts so far. This member is presumably a known character using a new user name, and purely out to stir up trouble.
Back to the original topic...did Haldi taste the dishes from Adey's place before signing up for an expensive training course? Then it might be possible to complain that the lesson did not deliver food which tasted as good as what is served up in the restaurant.
-
adeys making a mug of people if i was haldi and had a few bevies i would of chucked bombay mix over him as well.
-
It's a shame Haldi has been left feeling unable to post after his BIR training, you would think he would be advising us all on were we are missing steps in our cooking.
I hope you return soon Haldi, get your Curry Pans back out and start cooking quality curry with us all :)
-
Lets see if this post is any clearer for you George.
Madras Andy is a troll from this site who has been banned from CA's forum. He was also using the name Carolina reaper to cause trouble.
Little chilli is also a troll who caused trouble on the other site.
Little chilli claims that trolls exist to grab attention. If this is the case, I would question the "banned' motif that he is displaying. Surely this is designed to attract attention to his antics.
Madras Andy stalked the other forum using the name Baltiboy and posted a vitriolic attack on members of that site in a pathetic attempt to disrupt things.
I have only ever used the name Chukitinabukit, which Madrasandy chooses to change to Chukup.
Yet you say that I am out to cause trouble?
Adey Payne is entitled to post what he wishes unless he falls foul of the Admin, which he obviously has not.
Madras andy is entitled, it would seem to insult the man, but I am not allowed to comment on continuous whinging by a member?
Yea , right.
-
Lets see if this post is any clearer for you George.
Yes, your post above is much better and, therefore I don't need to modify or delete it. I deleted one of your posts because it struck me as a thinly veiled obscenity.
You seem very well informed and I could hazard a guess as to who you might be.
You say Madras Andy and Little chilli are trolls but I don't see too much evidence of that here. I agree that using multiple user names on any one forum is bad practice but nobody has complained about that here.
Several of us are using the "banned" motif. I had mine custom made to show zero chillis because I never joined the other site as George but I know I'd be banned immediately, if I tried. I'd be the first to admit it's a wind up to reflect how many people (lots) seemed to be banned from the other site, whereas it's VERY rare that anyone needs to be banned from here.
I agree that referring to your use name, Chukitinabukit, as Chukup, is provocative but isn't your user name a bit long? Can't you cut it down to something a bit shorter?
I agree that Adey Payne is entitled to post what he wishes and he's as valued as any member here.
-
Chuckit a new thread might be better place? maybe George would consider moving it over, this is a large can of worms you open!
The banned user names are displayed as a joke, due to the fact that any questioning or disagreement of a certain persons posts gets you an instant Ban!!
This unfortunately means you never have a chance to reply to the inconsiderate or unfounded comments then posted by the sarcastic dictator.
Thus is why I rejoined to have my 10pence worth only to be dismissed by the iron fist! Alongside dealing with the dictator, other members have had to put up with you consistently winding them up while hiding under his wing!
This is why you are receiving stick from members here, but you never know leopards may change there spots, if you can change your attitude towards me, then I openly welcome you and you input.
-
:)
-
Once again chuk you have confused me, yes carolinereaper was half-linked to my account on bir, but I can hand on heart , on my 5 year olds life swear that the user baltiboy is not me.
I do not know why you have suddenly began attacking me on here, and frankly I do not really care, maybe its best if you stick to posting on bir.
-
I thought Chuckup was quite an amusing twist. And that's a big difference between here and the dark side. Most on here are happy to have a chuckle and poke fun at each other in a friendly way, without offence being taken.
Perhaps Chucky misinterpreted this jovial tomfoolery as nasty, I doubt it was meant this way. Andy can be a cheeky, mischievous little rascal, but have never seen him as a particularly disruptive influence.
-
I'm all in for group Hug ;)
-
Madamandy,
you constantly snjpe away at Adey to the point where it appears you have a fixation about him., then ask why I appear to attack you?
I did not "attack" you. My original comment was that you are still whining about Adey and his instruction course. This is a fact. It is not fiction.
You put your hand on your heart and swear you are not Baltiboy? Not impressed. You and I both know you are.
The little chillie,
you post slanderous bull about me, then say if I am prepared to change my attitude towards you, that you are up for a "group hug"?
Surely that's what happens at therapy meetings. I neither need therapy, nor a "group hug".
I am known on CA's forum as Chuk or Chukit.
Should anyone wish to twist that into something else, they have no room for complaint should I choose to reciprocate in kind.

It's getting just like the old days in here.
Ah, fond memories. ;D

Madamandy,

Madamandy isn't bad and I think should be used in future :P
I believe there are a few people who are suspicious about Adey's motives for joining this site and promoting his 'lessons'. Nothing against the guy, personally and all that. Add to that the fact that one of our members had one of those lessons and was less than overwhelmed and maybe you can understand why some of us may be a little sceptical.
As for fixations? I think it may be you who has the fixations about Adey.....I wonder what your motives are?

George, I have wondered the same thing myself, could never understand on the BIR forum how Chucket was able to dodge (The Nameless One) without any comeback while the rest of us disappeared.
I believe you scored a bullseye in your observations ;)
-
Well I thought Chuck/chucky/chuckup,chuckit whatever he's known as, was a (moderated) when I was on the other forum and he's just proved to me that he is a (moderated).

Chu
How come you make the identical grammar mistakes as Adolfander ?
-
Could some kind soul please remind me how to add a user to one's personal "Ignore/block" list ? We appear to have "gained" (I use the term in its loosest sense) a new member whose sole aim is to cause mischief, and I for one would be more than happy to read nothing further from him, her or it.

-
Three posts and straight into negative comments,
seems to have started somewhere else...
Don't air you dirty laundry in public.
Why not make a fresh start and lets talk about BIR on this site.
:-)
-
Hi Haldi, hows your curries coming along? After having a few weeks cooking at home with what you have learnt from Adeys course do you feel that your curries have improved now?
-
I would say, Andy, that Haldi probably doesn't need reminded of the experience at every opportunity.
-
Oh yes , sorry Grap ;)
-
yea he probably needs a rest and time to come to terms with that experience.

cannot beat a wee bit of CR0 online abuse every now and then....
just wouldn't be the same without all the Steve Wright eh !!!

Well, I've been on both, Banned twice from the other (the only thing in my life I've ever been banned from) and its much better here.
(Sound of clock slowly ticking in background)
' Your curry was 100% again tonight Cory, but then again so it should be it's one of yours' 'Why thank you 8), you can stay, don't forget to rate it'
(Sound of clock slowly ticking in background)
Think I might join for a 3rd time. Its very therapeutic over there, a bit like listening to paint dry or perhaps rain falling or even listening to white noise through a pair of headphones with a sack over your head, arms outstretched, leaning with your hands against a wall :)
-
:D GI :o

:)

Totally off topic but i just love reading all the sycophantic comments over there, although i am banned too :-\. Will never really understand why. Hopefully some of those currently snooping around this site will wake up and smell the coffee. Or better still, grow some ****s and argue occasionally :D. One thing is for sure, i'll never learn anything from there to improve my BIR cooking that isn't already available here ::)
-
mmmmm a lot of contradiction in the same posts there.
Gaviscon has never been banned from anything/where before, states there is nothing for him on CA's forum, yet wants to rejoin?
You should write a book of your own Gaviscon "confessions of a troll".
By the the way, those " ideas coming from the voices in your head" don't seem to be that good.
Garp, you think that one post of mine constitutes a fixation?
As for the "grow some b#lls comment.
If those of you who are members of this forum wish to be abusive to me or others, have the gonads to do it under your own name girls. No need to sneak into another place. I'll check in here from time to time to see how you are doing. ;)
Back on topic, not everybody will get the same result from a course, some will be extatic with the result, some will be happy, some will be disappointed and some, like Haldi, will come away confused.
Maybe Haldi is struggling with the change over in methods from those that he has been using for years, to those that he has recently been taught.

Adeys course covers everything, and he is teaching it right
My problem is that I already knew most of these methods and my recipes needed fine tuning
If I tried a madras from three places, I would get three different results
I should have brought a sample of exactly what I wanted to achieve, to the course
I naively thought this would just happen
If you have a different base, a different spice mix, a different cooking order, different main ingredient you can't get anything but a different result
It all adds up
Adey is a decent bloke and he is helping many people achieve exactly what they are after
-

That's true, its the only thing or place I've ever been banned from in my whole life. I don't think I said there's nothing for me on there, that must be the voices in your head, I did say I might rejoin as I think its therapeutic and I do enjoy reading the posts from the numptys i.e. you. Some words I think you should look up in the dictionary, hypocrite - before you tell me that I'm a troll (internet) for which I'll actually accept as a compliment, imbecile - in relation to yourself and while your there, ecstatic because you mis-spelt it. Obviously someones touched a nerve somewhere causing you to post on here. If it makes you happier and you need a point of focus for your apparent anger, just insult or accuse me of anything that springs up in your mind and I'll happily agree for you, fact or fiction.
You've got to admit that its better here though, as you wouldn't be able to have such a friendly debate over in the school house without getting a warning then banned.

Nothing to do with the original post
Hey Chuckit you've found this forum now!
best, Rich
-
Sitting here smiling at Chuckits posts has had me thinking. I've never been called a troll before and when I see the word troll nowadays it always takes me back to The Three Billy Goats Gruff, I'm a troll fol de rol, I'm a troll fol de rol. :) If some of you think I've lost my marbles, here it is played on Phil's ipod classic. The troll bit starts at 1.55.

Nice to see you Rich. The pumpkin and red lentil dahl's still going down well. :)

Chu
How come you make the identical grammar mistakes as Adolfander ?
Still LMFAO, the though of you running around inside your own head Chucky ;) but on a honest point I was concerned for your health last night.
I feel it's good to have some form of outlet for your pent up frustration, BIR has caused you much stress so my arms are always open in welcome to you ;)
Hi Haldi, thanks for the update to your feelings on the cooking class! You make some good points there and have left me some food for thought. :)

TROLL- is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments, hoping to start arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
And chukit you have the audacity to join this forum, falsely accuse people, and after 2 posts you begin all of the above! :o

It all adds up
Shame you didnt have the benefit of hindsight Haldi, it would have been great to learn how to replicate your favourite restaurant curry. The madras's I have eaten from restaurants, not take-aways, around here are all pretty similar , with only slight differences between them, noticable but slight.
Yes it does all add up, but the challenge is fun and enjoyable :)
-
Yep, "Gav is gone", the voices in your head telling you that you need therapy are probably correct.
It is your claim to be a troll that prompted my suggestion that you write your own book entitled "Confessions of a troll",
and now you are claiming the title of Troll as a compliment.
You just don't have a pair big enough to confess to being Baltiboy, do you.
You sit there and allow Madamandy to take the blame.
To your Troll, I am the Billy goat gruff.
It must be the rejection that you feel that is causing you to attempt to troll and re-enter the other place. :'(
Madamandy,
are you "still" trying to tell Haldi how he feels after his course? Tut tut.
???
The Little chillie,
You want to hug a man? Ask Madamandy to oblige, that's if he is not posing as "Caroliner" today.
As for starting all this, I made one justifiable comment which brought the Ugly sisters out.
You still won't be going to the ball girls. :-*
Haldi, good post.

The way your brain derives something completely different to what is actually posted does make me smile chukup :)
I think you will find that willysuckycockyhelikes is actually carolinareaper1, why dont you trot along and go ask him ;)

Welcome back Chucky :'(
Good point there Andy, I do believe he could also be my doppelg

Certainly
It is your claim to be a troll that prompted my suggestion that you write your own book entitled "Confessions of a troll",
That's the wrong way round but definitely yes.

Put me down for a definite maybe, not that I'm indecisive.
To your Troll, I am the Billy goat gruff.

Absolutely. Never ever knew my true parents as I recently found that I was abandoned as a baby and then adopted. Now every time someone shouts 'Who's your daddy?' I just burst into tears.
Madamandy,
are you "still" trying to tell Haldi how he feels after his course? Tut tut.
???
Without a doubt, I wouldn't think of doing anything else.
The Little chillie,

Me me me me. I'll hug you.
As for starting all this, I made one justifiable comment which brought the Ugly sisters out.
You still won't be going to the ball girls. :-*
Ok, I own up, you made the one justifiable comment. Can I go to the ball now and you've obviously seen my sister then?
Are you feeling happier now I'm just in agreement with you.
It's a pity I'm out this afternoon (electric shock therapy appointment and all that), as I could agree with you all day Chuckle just to make you happy. But if you want to continue tomorrow, I can give you my full attention all day and I promise you I won't get sick of replying ever. Just get it all out, I'm a good listener. I'll get up early if you want.
PS. Have you been drinking or are you naturally illiterate?
-
Ha Ha Ha ;D
-
Even better so you don't come across a fool, you could pm me. We wouldn't want our admin or moderator deleting the posts or moving them to a new thread in agreement with the mission statement.
Sorry wrong forum, that's what happens in the schoolhouse. And shhhhhh, whisper 'are you posting here during playtime?'
Anyway, feel free to pm me tomorrow and perhaps we can up the ante.
-
As for starting all this, I made one justifiable comment
...but lets not forget the trolling posts that most didnt see but were removed by george eh chukup, your memory seems to suit your needs.
I dont think Ive known george to remove many posts, shows how good yours were !!

You can tell a good forum by the quality of its trolls ;) !!!
-
Yeah Defo CA or is it Double Onionist

'Gav is gone' wrote, "you could pm me and then we could up the anti...blah blah blah"
I have still got the pm you sent me when you were posing as baltiboy, or should that have been battiboy?
Should you wish to send another pm in the same vein, I will keep that as well. Anything to aid your therapeutic treatment.
By the way, what else did your consultant, voices in your head, recommend, maybe I could assist you there as well?
You are on the wrong site to be soliciting hugs from men Little whatsit, or are you?
You shout about how this forum gives freedom of speech, yet do not make a murmur when somebody's post is removed? Okay.
I'm interested in these cooking course you girls are offering at 1/2 the price of Adey's.
I am fascinated that you claim to consistently fail to come up to scratch on the quality. That is self evident.
Madamandy, you display less male characteristics than an oestrogen pill in your attempts to deny the multi names under which you and the other girls post.
I'll come back and play another day, don't squabble over the lipstick girls.

Having fought in 2 world wars and having done a few covert missions in my time, I've used my skills to gather intel that the gang of 4 have been whispering behind the bike sheds. Apparently, we couldn't make it up which I always find strange because we managed no bother. :) Chicken Chuckie has totally lost the plot and is now just talking gibberish. :o
PS If you would like me to write more so the headmaster can make another large post and then you can all laugh and agree like the robots from the 70's Cadburys Smash adverts, then feel free to ask.

Chucky, I really am starting to feel sorry for you:0/ you just don't know when your make yourself look really stupid!!

Yeah Defo CA or is it Double Onionist
Meaning what exactly?

...
Please, Gav, stop rising to troll bait. Chuck it up is clearly a troll, and the only way to deal with such people is to completely ignore them. I have already used "Report to moderator" on Chuckit's preceding message, and I shall continue to do so until his account is terminated (with extreme prejudice).

"with extreme prejudice"? I see you are a movie buff and something of a melodramatic type.
I made one comment which has resulted in a stream of abuse from the three ugly sisters. Yet I am at fault?
I see where the "extreme prejudice" thought comes from.
Maybe it is I who should report you to the moderator for "prejudice".

The Ugly sisters,
Girls, your more recent attempts to rejoin another place are highly amusing and futile. Why are you not satisfied with this forum?
What is it that you think is lacking here, that causes you to constantly try to return, to somewhere where you are so obviously unwelcome?
I find this site very informative. Why is it that you do not?
BTW, I got a gold star.

I don't have a clue what this is about, but clearly somebody isn't playing nice.

Hi
This thread is doing Mr Payne no service in reviewing his work. Can we please lock this and transfer the on topic posts to a new thread where personal, childish, sexually derogatory or homophobic insults receive a ban. No second chances, no I was only joking.

As Phil has already kindly stated, please just push the report to admin button for Chucky the Troll, he is just looking for food.

I expected it all to be perfect
I'm hoping that it's something I can still get right
Adey and I are chatting and fingers crossed it work out
I was probably really naive
I expected a perfect match to curries, which obviously he's never tried
If I do get it, you will all know
Hi Haldi did you get it ?

Hi Haldi did you get it ?
I can't work out a way to get Adey a sample
I'll probably drive and see him sometime
He's opening a new restaurant, you know

Never seen on in any of his videos, Santa. And I would be more impressed if I knew that he had worked for a real BIR chef than vice versa ...

Off-topic introspection. Why is it that whenever I re-read one of my posts before posting, I find it necessary to add one or more "that"s that did not come naturally when I first wrote the message. In the above, I found it necessary to add the 'that' after "If I knew". I added three 'at's to a single sentence recently, yet all looked and read right in the end.

Do you use the word "got"? Ever?
It has got to be the most unnecessary word that there is.

I have no problem with got, only gotten, which generally makes the speaker sound retarded.

Come on guys let's remember this is not a English grammar forum, not all of us had such a privileged upbringing with good education !
I'm here to cook curry not to read how u think uneducated people are retarded!!
-
Do you use the word "got"? Ever?
In speech, yes; in writing. no. I removed one from one of my wife's papers yesterday (she is a non-native speaker), reminding her of the guidance I was given as a child and have never forgotten : "Treat 'lot' and 'got' as if they were red hot". "Gotten" is good Scots, but exists in Southern British English only in frozen phrases such as "ill-gotten gains". Hey, a thought : if the Scots gain their independence on Thursday, I could re-cast the preceding as "... in British English", omitting the "Southern" and saving a whole word :)
Right, back to Adey Payne, chaps : enough of this off-topic stuff !

I wish those using the trendy phrase "The learning curve" realised what a mistake they are making,then make it worse by adding steep :D

Interesting, Phil. Can you explain how, or why, an independent Scotland would cease to be part of Britain, therefore cease to be British?
-

Any video link I can find that has his actual name on it comes up a s being no longer available or on subscriber channels. I can't find any videos with the man involved. The Voight vids work, but are these what we are talking about?

To be fair to Adey, he has a couple of Bangladeshi guys running the kitchen as far as I can see, so he should have a good idea of what he is talking about...

Does that mean that the Bangladeshi guys are top chefs or learner onion choppers or just there for show?

He hasn't had Curried Away since July 13. He runs a cafe with his missus now for which the council refused him permission to do Indian meals although he has just announced that he is to open a new indian venture. The followings taken from the schoolhouse.

Interesting, Phil. Can you explain how, or why, an independent Scotland would cease to be part of Britain, therefore cease to be British?
"The Kingdom of Great Britain resulted from the union of the kingdoms of England (comprising modern-day England and Wales) and Scotland in 1707. Subsequently, in 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain united with the neighbouring Kingdom of Ireland forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. When five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922, the state was renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
Since you (generic, = "some Scots") wish to secede from this union, if you (also generic) are successful in this aim it is clear that you will, by definition, no longer be a member of the Kingdom of Great Britain. At which point you may cease exporting those ridiculously overpriced, overpackaged and overrated biscuits called "shortbread" and eat them all yourselves, to augment your otherwise impoverished diet of deep-fried battered Mars bars washed down by an uncountable number of wee hawff and hawffs.
** Phil.
-
The vote hasn't even taken place and we're at war already. When they went for the Scottish parliament, my haggismunching aunty used to always say, 'the last time we had a parliament we were at war with England'
PS I like shortbread. Second only to a ginger nut for dunkin' ???
-
PS I like shortbread. Second only to a ginger nut for dunkin'
How anyone can voluntarily take a wonderful, crisp, perfect biscuit such as a ginger nut and voluntarily immerse it in hot liquid so as to completely destroy its texture is utterly beyond me. Your curries may be the gnat's lower underwear, Gav., but your idea of what to do with a ginger nut is beyond comprehension :)
** Phil.
P.S. If the Scots do succeed in their plan to secede from the Union, I shall deliver next year's "Address to the Haggis" in pure Oxford R.P. :)

And the dunkin's all about the timing phil. Just a quick one to keep the structural integrity. I also missed chocolate hobnobs of the list.

I think Phil is confusing Britain with the UK. Britain, to my knowledge, is a geographical name for the island. I don't think even Mr Salmond is proposing a physical split ????
-

You err, Sir. The "UK" is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island. Scotland will cease to be a part of Great Britain if it secedes from the Union.
Britain, to my knowledge, is a geographical name for the island. I don't think even Mr Salmond is proposing a physical split ????
Think "Hadrian's Wall". Following secession, we shall create "Salmond's Channel", a minimum of one mile in width and mined for its entire length :)
** Phil.
-
I disagree, sir. If Britain is a geographical description of the island, as opposed to a political or sovereign description, then whether or not Scotland is independent, we will still be part of Britain....and, therefore, British.
As for the UK, it would cease to exist in the event of separation.
-
about time someone renamed this thread too

No, this thread was started in a SECTION of the forum called "let's talk curry".
The forum is called "curry-recipes" so if the meandering nature of the discussion within this thread does not interest you, why not check out any one of thousands of excellent recipe threads?
Strange folks? We still achieve more than on forums where anything remotely off-topic is deleted.
I agree that it might sometimes be better to split a thread but it's simply not possible.
-
George, I know nothing of these other forums which you refer to. Just commenting on what I see here...

I think it should be named "yet another derailed thread"

Is your part of the planet not collectively known as "The Brittish Isles"?
In the event of the "Yes" vote winning, what about the name, the "Fractured United Kingdom"?
I'm going to spend the day cooking 2 versions of Balti Chicken Madras. One will be a straight preparation following a stand alone "Book Recipe". The second one will contain, as much as humanly possible, the exact same ingredients but prepared in the BIR method. Just to see what difference, if any, the method actually makes to the finished dish. Also as much as possible I'll try to follow AP's recipes and method depending on how much I can glean in the time I have to do this experiment.
Has anybody else done this?
-

It's the nature of the beast Mick. The beast being...human nature.
If you prefer a more focused approach I believe CA's forum is looking for new members.

I think it should be named "yet another derailed thread"
Unfortunately, I'd need to amend the thread title of all 150 (approx) posts so it's not really practicable.
I could lock the thread but it strikes me as restricting discussion if people want to talk about anything they like.
Or I could delete every single post which isn't relevant to the "Adey Payne Cooking Lesson in Boston". I'm sure that wouldn't go down very well, either.
This thread certainly isn't one of the best adverts for the forum, so I can understand RingStinger's comments to an extent.

It'll be all over on Friday. ::)

I'm going to spend the day cooking 2 versions of Balti Chicken Madras. ..Just to see what difference, if any, the method actually makes to the finished dish.
I've used different methods with the same ingredients and found it can make a significant difference.
One example is that I tried cooking all the ingredients for a base sauce separately, for 40 minutes, as per my normal approach, when the ingredients are fried/simmered together. Then I combined everything at the end and found the sauce didn't taste as good as normal! I hoped that, if the end result had tasted the same, I could try altering the quantity of the ingredients to taste, to make it even better.

I'll put this in another thread.

Hi Phil, there was a rumour, I cant remember which post and by whom, that Chukitinabukit was actually CA.
-
Chukit is CA he also has other pseudonyms he banned 1 of them ;D
-
Well, I was beginning to get that feeling; after all, knowing CA as I do, I really cannot imagine him allowing anyone else to dictate who may, or may not, be a member of his forum ...
-
All makes sense
-
Not surprised at all, only ever met one other person like CA and that's Chuck-it ! Both are encased in lead!
-
I take it he's banned now?
-
Looks that way

Which would be a shame really as I did enjoy his idiotic postings. :( I was even going to start a 'Chucklevision' thread so he keep all his jibes from the 'Cinderella Book of Insults' all in one place.

Now that. Mr Onions, is distinctly Out of Order. Haldi is one of our most senior and respected members, and if he wishes all irrelevant contributions to be deleted from a thread that he himself has started, then I believe he has every right to request that, and I would support him in his request. Most of us are guilty of going off-topic from time to time, and I more than most, but we should nonetheless respect the wishes of those more dedicated and serious members who wish to keep a particular thread on-topic.
